Fishing: Both adults and children enjoy it

In the beginning fishing most likely began primarily as a food source for man. But as man's skills in hunting and cultivating improved and his sources of food increased, man’s interest in fishing began to take on new meanings Fishing is still one of the few forms of wild life sports that both child and adult can perform in relative safety. Whether a highly skilled angler, equipped with the most sophisticated tackle intended to dazzle the cleverist of finned creatures, or an inexperienced child sporting only a bamboo pole and a can of worms, fishing is a favorite pastime for many a Hoosier Sociologists and psychologists have long supported man’s demand for recreation' and leisure listing fishing as a good way to escape the pressures of modern living, as well as promote a healthy, happy family life Fishing, in some respects, has become a philosophy that is best summed up in the familiar “Gone Fish’n” sign often seen on stores and businesses throughout America. According to experts, to gain a person's interest in an activity you must make it fun with a hint of a challenge And when the person is a youngster and the activity is fishing, that goes double Make It Fun The important thing is to make it fun Then the novice will want to come back and do it again. Since there's more to fishing than can be experienced in one outing it's a good idea to take time to expose the beginner to all of the things that make fishing what it is Often times, adults forget the fun of fishing when they take a youngster out for the first time# causing the lessons to be dull and boring If you notice the child becoming bored, it s time to stop and do something they enjoy One thing to keep in mind is that the beginner will probably get "hooked” just by catching a little fish Give him a taste of the fun of fishing before going after the big trophy fish. Don t be put off by the cost of starting a beginner’s tackle box Sure, first class tackle is not cheap, but tackle companies offer beginner packages priced for anybody's pocketbook Start out with a medium-sized inexpensive tackle box with a small assortment of artificial lures including rubber worms, surface poppers, and spinners. To that add a few other essentials such as some hooks, sinkers, plastic bobbers, small snap swivels and a pair of long nose pliers > A good quality balanced rod and reel using six-pound test line is suitable for small bass, bluegills, trout and crappie « Bait doesn't need to be expensive A simple rule of thumb is to use bait that the fish find in its immediate environment In other words, if the fish in your favorite fishing hole feed on insects and worms, use insects and worms They are most likely going to recognize scents and movements of the bait that they Some Don’t Like It Hot! It lakes the average person a week or two to adjust to hot weather, according to experts in the health sciences. Because of the slow change of your body adapting to the heat, you are likely to feel warmer during the earlier days of summer.

are used to feeding on. Eventually. new bait can be introduced as the skills of the angler increase. It never hurts to know where the fish are, when they're there, and why For instance fish may spawn in springtime in certain areas and then move under branches of trees and underwater structures in fall. So select your favorite and most likely fishing hole and let the youngster experience and enjoy the wonderful sport of fishing If you're one of the lucky anglers, those who own a boat or outboard, you may not realize how helpful it can be in the search for fish So many fishermen, anxious to “wet a line.” start their fishing before they’ve had a chance to really check out the water A boat and a plan can help you get into more fish, especially when you're on an unfamiliar lake or river Suggestions Here are a few suggestions to increase your luck: 1) Explore the lake Cruise around and note locations of fish cover, shady points, deep holes Try and compare these to a map or jot down your own rough map of the lake. 2) If you’re unsure where the fish are you'll want to begin "trolling.” When trolling your lure is in the water constantly and you're covering a lot of territory. Use a deep weedless plug to minimize the danager of getting hung up on underwater obstructions Vary your trolling speeds from a very slow troll to a faster-than-you’d-think-you-ought-to speed Making sure the trolling plug is swimming’ with the action it is intended to produce. Try to keep the rod in your hands, not in a rod holder. When you find fish, anchor and cast in that area If you don't pick up any more fish, start trolling again Trolling works on the principle that the vibrations of the boat actually attract fish. 3) Work a shoreline. One of the best techniques for fishing the shoreline with an outboard is to reverse your motor and go backwards There are several advantages to that. You can go slower and work an area more carefully because the steerage is at the point of power and you can maintain your best distance to the shoreline. With an outboard, you'll find that your bait will be in the water longer and work more effectively for you As long as men have been catching fish, or at least trying to, there have been those stories often told about the fish that got away Sometimes, both the story and the size of the fish grow in size as the story is told repeatedly. .. Well, here’s a couple of fish stones that really are true and happen to have set two new state records Ray Burkel of Terre Haute caught a yellow perch weighing two pounds, eight ounces from a gravel pit in Vigo County on a live night crawler This record beats the old record by seven ounces Donald Thacker of Canton. Ohio, caught a 21 pound, four ounce lake trout while trolling. This record for lake trout beats the old recrod by four ounces In addition to the two state records set in April the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) also released a list of 13 Hoosiers who are winners in the 1980 Fish-of-the-Year contest. These are not all new stale records, however, they were the largest fish entered in their category Each winner received a certificate ahd patch recognizing his or her catch. They are: Ricahrd Bundy of Hammond caught an Atlantic Salmon weighing 10 pounds, six ounces at Lake Michigan in Porter CountyRichard Morris of Columbus caught a bowfin weighing 12 pounds, eight ounces in a gravel pit in Jackson County. Howard Dodd of West Lafayette caught a buffalo fish weighing 35 pounds in Big Monon Creek in White County. Bill Takacs of Hammond caught a flathead catfish

To qualify as a contestant, sportsmen must have taken their fish by legal means with hook and line from Indiana waters, either public or private, where no charge is made for the fish taken In addition, entries must be made before December 31st of each year and a photograph must accompany the entry Entries must be weighed on state certified scales Also, the entry mqst be kept intact and must be available for inspection and identification by DNR personnel. Anglers who think they have caught a state record fish are encouraged to contact the DNR, Division of Fish and Wildlife. 607 State Office Building. Indianapolis. Ind 46204 Big Bucks Fishing, besides being recreational, means big bucks for the state of Indiana's annual income. There are approximately 111 million anglers in the state bringing in an income in excess of S4OO million Fishing opportunities in the state have increased dramatically during the past few years.as a result of effective fish management programs undertaken by the DNR. These programs were funded with reveniie from sports license sales, and not from General Fund monies. Governor Robert D. Orr. was himself the recipient of the first Indiana Fishing License to be given out this year. According to the governor, the DNR has fish responsibilities on more than 100.000 acres of lakes and ponds, on Indiana's portion of the Lake Michigan and on 6.000 miles of fishable streams within the state. More than'4o.ooo additional acres of public fishing have been made available to Hoosier anglers since 1960 DNR encourages comments from sportsmen concerning proposed changes in fish and wildlife regulations The division will hold a hearing in Fort Wayne on June 23 at the Carroll High School Auditorium on SR 3, at 7:30 p.m. Sportsmen’s recommendations are recorded and analyzed before any final decisions are made on - regulations Those who cannot attend but who wish ‘to make recommendations may do so by writing the department in Indianapolis. The proposed changes dealing with changing the bag limits for sport fishing, as well as size limits and seasons are: D Eliminate the 25 aggregate bag limit for crappie-redear-rock bass and replace it with 25 crappie. 25 redear and 25 rock bass. 2) Add Turtle Creek Reservoir in Sullivan County to the 14-inch bass size limit regulation. The recommendations concerning commercial fishing are to extend the commercial net

fishery to include the Patoka River between Jasper and the confluence with the Wabash River. Indiana plans to keep up with the business of fishing by keeping the fish populations up The state's first totally newwarm water fish hatchery in more than 40 years is scheduled to begin operations early in 1983. This facility at the Glendall Fish and Wildlife Area in Daviess County should annually supplymore than 15.000.000 walleyes, striped bass, muskies. and tiger muskies for stocking Indiana's public fresh waters, according to Edward L. Hansen, DNR division director. The 1981 general assemblyappropriated funds for development of a new coldwater fish hatchery on the Saint Joseph River near South Bend.. This hatchery will help the DNR develop excellent trout and salmon fishing opportunities in the populous Saint JosephElkhart County area Fishing plays an important role in the future of the state. We can all do our part in preserving this sport by following the regulations set by the DNR. After They’re Caught The best part about fishing is after you've cast, trolled, reeledin and literally tackled your catch you get to prepare it for dinner. There are many products on the market for cleaning and scaling fish Basically, you'll need a knife, snips or scissors for removing sharp fins that hamper scaling, and a board to cut it on Clean up should be done as soon as possible to. remove the fish smell from your utensils and dishes, not to mention your hands While lemon and salt will remove the odor from your hands, you may want to try one teaspoon of baking soda dissolved in one quart of warm water to rinse and clean with. This can be followed by vinegar for a sparkling rinse. Most fresh fish needs little more than butter, salt, lemon or vinegar and a touch of parsley to season while cooking or before eating. But you might like to be a little more inventive and bake it in sour cream in a moderate oven or possibly dip it in breading or batter and fry. Here is a recipe that is elegant enought for a candlelight dinner or so easy it can be prepared by a campfire. — QUICK BAKED FILLETS OF FISH Preheat oven to 350 degrees Place in an ovenproof dish: one Retire Vlk o To The 5 Clean Life 4SL g Lake Estates g • Mobile Home z Village & S; E Sales, Inc. o O ■UILUtdNB z INTMIARBtf uo aumofuuiß Writ* Or Call For Map IM. 1 BOX 11, WARSAW (214)524-2344 HEATED POOL • CLEAN AIR I

properly fish is an excellent source of protein because they do not have to build massive bone structures to support their weight (because the water supports them) and they do not waste energy keeping themsevles warm (due to the fact they are cold blooded), making them producers of lean white meat. Whether you decide to fish for sport or food remember to be sure and have a fishing license and always obey the rules and regulatiorjs set down by the DNR in whatever state you're in, and don't forget to put out the “Gone Fish’n" sign.
